Skills you'll practice
- How to scaffold a Next.js App Router project from scratch
- How to structure a marketing page into reusable sections (hero, features, pricing, FAQ)

Step-by-step build
- 1
Scaffold the project
Run `npx create-next-app@latest` with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and the App Router enabled, then delete the boilerplate starter content.
- 2
Define the page sections
List the sections the landing page needs (hero, social proof, features, pricing, FAQ, footer CTA) and create one component file per section under `components/`.
- 3
Build the hero section
Write a hero with a headline, subheadline and a primary call-to-action button, using an AI prompt to generate a first draft you then edit for tone and accuracy.
- 4
Build the feature grid and pricing table
Add a three-column feature grid and a pricing table with 2-3 tiers, keeping copy specific to the fictional product rather than generic.
- 5
Add an email capture form
Build a form component that posts to a Next.js API route at `app/api/subscribe/route.ts`.
- 6
Wire the API route to an email service
Connect the route to a transactional email provider such as Resend so signups are actually stored or forwarded, not just logged.
- 7
Add metadata and Open Graph tags
Set a unique title, meta description and social preview image for the page.
- 8
Test responsiveness
Check the layout at mobile, tablet and desktop breakpoints and fix any overflow or spacing issues.
- 9
Deploy
Push to GitHub and deploy to Vercel, then verify the live form submission works end to end.
Paste this into your AI coding tool
Adapt the placeholders in brackets to your own product, then iterate on the result step by step rather than expecting a perfect first pass.
Build a single-page Next.js (App Router) marketing landing page in TypeScript and Tailwind CSS for a fictional SaaS product called [Product Name] that [one-sentence value proposition]. Include: a hero section with a headline, subheadline, and a primary CTA button; a three-column feature grid with icons; a pricing section with three tiers (Free, Pro, Team) and a monthly/annual toggle; a testimonials placeholder section; an FAQ section using native <details> elements; and a footer with an email capture form. Wire the email form to a POST API route at /api/subscribe that validates the email and stores it (log to console for now, with a TODO comment for connecting a real email service). Use semantic HTML, add proper metadata (title, description, Open Graph tags), and make sure the layout is fully responsive from 375px to 1440px wide. Keep all copy specific to the product described above — no lorem ipsum.
SEO considerations
- Write a unique title tag and meta description that includes the product's core keyword and value proposition
- Use one H1 for the headline and a logical heading hierarchy for each section
- Add Open Graph and Twitter card metadata with a real preview image, not a placeholder
- Optimize the largest above-the-fold image or hero graphic so it doesn't hurt LCP
- Add descriptive alt text to every image and icon that conveys meaning
- Generate a sitemap.xml and robots.txt even for a single-page site so it can be indexed
Deployment steps
- Push the project to a GitHub repository
- Import the repository into Vercel and let it auto-detect the Next.js framework
- Set any environment variables, such as the email provider API key, in the Vercel project settings
- Point your custom domain at the Vercel deployment and verify SSL is issued
- Submit the deployed sitemap to Google Search Console
